Trust His Heart
“So when you don’t understand, when you don’t see His plan, when you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.”
One aspect of coming to know our Lord is learning to see His heart. If you truly know Him, you know that “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11). You understand that “All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). And you find that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). If He loves us so much, why do people fall into self-pity and feel like no one cares? I don’t know how much more God could show us that He loves us.
Yet the fact is we sometimes lose sight of that love. Those are the times we need to draw near to Him once again and allow Him to draw near to us (James 4:8). If we maintain a closeness that sees Him for who He is, we will receive that “perfect love that casts out fear” (1 John 4:18) and we’ll be able to tell others of His goodness no matter what we are going through.
